AB  - The electrical discharge machining (EDM) is unitary of the widely used unconventional machining because of its ability to cut very hard material engendering high dimensional accuracy as well. In thermo-electric process, control sparks generation between electrodes causes material removal; however, application of hydrocarbon oil based dielectric is an issuance of environmental disruption. To rectify this problem, replacement of dielectric is main concerns in EDM research. This paper highlights Dry-EDM, Near-Dry EDM and EDM in water, which is conceived as an environment amiable alteration in the oil EDM process. The work gives a thorough review of Dry, near-dry EDM and EDM in water as a process, where the target is to endeavor dielectric fluids that can be substituted bypassing hydrocarbon oil. It is perceived that water and gas based dielectrics could take over oil-based fluids in die sink applications. Novel technological advances in dry EDM machining processes, which deliberate the relatively advanced stage of a technology in to the area of academic and industrial research is briefly reviewed. An outline of the prospective trend of reviewing is intimate in the last fragment.
